Furn ElHarra (Arabic for "the neighborhood bakery") is a collaborative, site-specific installation by Christian Sleiman and Renoz that transforms 200Cent into a functioning Lebanese bakery-improvised, familiar, and dislocated.







What does it take to live here?

We reach for what we know: we plant, we cook, we rebuild. We gather fragments-gestures that bind us to the past while forging space for something new.

Furn ElHarra is a site built from memory, but not trapped in it. The manakish served are thin, warm, and slightly charred. They come with a newspaper.
Headlines blur across time. New wars echo old ones. Migration becomes less a rupture than a rhythm. The clock in the bakery loops endlessly. Bread is made even when no one is there to eat.

Yet, people do arrive. Strangers gather.
The smell of za'atar invites pause, even if briefly. The city absorbs its presence without fully knowing what it means.
Like other spaces shaped by migrating communities,
the bakery opens small cracks in the structures surrounding it-glimpses of
another way to exist, not built on permanence, but on relation.
